The summer may be over, but you can look forward to your next holiday with eagerness now.

To help you plan your next trip abroad, Google has launched a new app that promises to make planning holidays a lot easier.

The new app from the search engine giant, titled Google Trips, acts as a personal tour guide in your pocket.

Google Trips will recommend itineraries, give you information about local attractions and keep track of all your travel reservations.

Each trip contains key categories of information, including "day plans", "reservations", "things to do", "food and drink", and "more".

The entire app is available offline, so once you've decided what you want to do, you can simply tap the "Download" button to save all the information to your phone.

"Figuring out how to squeeze everything you want to do into a finite window of time can be stressful, especially when you're in a new place, often with limited access to the web," said Stefan Frank, product manager for Google Trips.

"We wanted to reduce the hassle and help travelers enjoy their hard-earned vacations. So today, we're introducing a new mobile app to help you instantly plan each day of your trip with just a few taps of your finger."

Google Trips includes a variety of itineraries for 200 cities in the world, based on recommendations from other travellers.

Users can specify which area they want to explore, how much time they have, and select any attractions they particularly want to visit, and Google Trips will create an itinerary and plot it on a map.

Flight, hotel, car and restaurant reservations can all be saved to the app, so you can access them easily - even when you don't have WiFi.
